The overall mood, animosity after Georgia's Legislative Session? Plus, lawmakers could be summoned back for a special session

from Political Breakfast from WABE · host WABE

On this week's Political Breakfast, the final gavel banged on Sine Die. Georgia's 2026 Legislative Session is over. But as the dust settles and bills head to Governor Brian Kemp's desk for his signature, host Lisa Rayam asks Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson about the overall vibe under the Gold Dome. The gang shares that the session ended with more animosity than normal between both chambers, and some hard feelings. That's as lawmakers begin clearing out their desks and refocus on the upcoming elections. Besides major offices like Georgia Governor, Secretary of State and U.S. Senate, all of our state Representatives and Senators are up for re-election this year. Plus, the potential for a special session? State lawmakers failed to pass legislation on the final day of the Georgia General Assembly to tackle a self-imposed July 1st deadline, to end the use of QR codes to count votes. Now they could be summoned back in May or June, to tackle how Georgians will vote in future elections. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
